local php issue?

[ggulliver]

I've an issue whereby php doesn't appear to be handled correctly by Apache:

1 KavaTunes displays directory listings rather than the php pages.
2 When trying to view BBEdit-prepared php pages for my websites (which serve fine from the web), Firefox/Safari display them as text rather than processing the php.

Have you enabled PHP? It comes preinstalled with Mac OS X, but it's not enabled by default.

Yes - at least I think so.

From memory, the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf file already had 'LoadModule php5_module libexec/apache2/libphp5.so'.

Much of this may simply be my misunderstanding things - and thinking they should work differently.

A phpinfo test file in user/Sites/ processes ok, and although I seem to recall earlier versions of BBedit working differently on earlier versions of OSX, maybe things got changed with the various updates and don't work as expected.

Double-check to make sure that it's uncommented (that there's no # at the beginning of the line).

Thanks.
It's uncommented.

Does that mean that the problem is fixed?

 

[ggulliver]

I'm not sure.
It's more a case of I think things are as they should be, but don't have enough knowledge to be certain.

So PHP pages are still not displaying correctly? The offending files have the extension .php? What version of Mac OS X are you running?
